Overshot and Swivel weaving (4shafts, 6 treadles).

    Overshot and Swivel weaving, give similar motifs as Welsh tapestry, but they're not doublewarp weaves, but doubleweft weaves. For most of them you'll only need 4 shafts and 6 treadles.
    The doubleweft consists of 1 pattern pick, followed by 1 tabby pick. Two bobbins, the pattern is often in a thicker yarn, while the tabby is woven in the same yarn as the warp or a thinner yarn. The tabby pick blocks the pattern pick and thus allows you to weave the same pattern pick, several times after another. The tabby picks rarely show in overshot drafts. 

    Overshot gives floats on both sides, but mirrored. As you can see on the photo, if there's a float at one side there's non on the other, and vice versa.
    Swivel is a form of overshot, the threading is the same. The treadling for the pattern picks is the threading rotated 90°. Each pattern pick is followed by a tabby pick, like for regular overshot. The tie-up is a straight 1,2,3,4 (shafts going down). The difference with overshot is, that there are no floats on the right side, they're all on the other side.

Weaving Welsh tapestry

Weaving Welsh tapestry.

I'm interested in what they call Welsh tapestry, which in fact is doubleweave.

There's not much on the web, so I searched my weaving books. In "Weaving with foot-power looms" , Edward F Worst (first edition 1918, reprinted in the '70), there are several drafts that very much look like Welsh tapestry; Are they? If yes, what is all this double harness method about? Help!!
